This Trader Joe's is amazing. I wanted to send my son and his fiancee a gift to take with them when eloping - I'm in Chicago and not able to do this myself. Trader Joe's made this so much fun. Locke, the manager that helped me, was patient, accommodating and eager to carry off the delivery to my son's office of food I had selected.
I didn't expect this, but took a chance calling them to see if this could be done. He was terrific and the gift bag arrived on time with everything I had wanted.
Thank you so much Trader Joe's for helping pull this off and making a fun occasion a total surprise!!!! • • •

How it's possible for a big-city, big-box grocery store to feel like a small-town, hometown joint, I'll never know, but yet again, Trader Joe's manages to do it. Like every TJ's, their selection is limited, but that's how they keep their prices low, & it makes for quick trips - get in, find what you need, get out. And maybe try a free sample along the way! This big, airy, open space is unexpected in a big-city location, but it lends the store a suburban feel rarely found mid-District. The lines are long, but they move quickly, & the employees have that friendly, "We're sincerely glad you're here" vibe that's standard for TJ's stores nationwide. I, for one, am thrilled to have a place to buy Cookie Butter on the regular, & their $4 shrimp tempura sushi is my new favorite lunchtime standard. Glad to see a Trader Joe's in the heart of the U Street Corridor! • • •

The more I bought groceries here the more I loved it and found out what great selections they have. My wife especially loved their floral selection. The people are respectful, kind and fun. Sometime I even want to buy food just to enjoy the atmosphere. You have to shop here!

The fact that there is a trader joes right in the middle of the city is amazing. I love trader joes! It's perfect to grab a quick lunch on the go or even grab a snack. The staff is amazing! #dishcrawlapproved

I work about 1/2 mile away and I make it a point to shop here at least once a month. I absolutely adore this place. The prices seem reasonable to me, not just for the city but for groceries in general. I will say that I don't ever come here intending on doing my weekly grocery shopping. I agree with some of the other reviewers that their produce selection is limited.
I usually come in for the wine--they have a wide array to choose from, at all price points. I usually pick up nuts, dried fruit, EVOO and honey, too. You just can't beat the prices for these products, which can really add up at traditional grocery stores.
At the end of they day, they have what I'm looking for and the staff are always extremely helpful and friendly. I don't think I've ever left without a smile on my face. Kudos to you, Joe! • • •
